Why Europe is Building a $34BN Transport Mega-Hub
Infrastructure 30 Apr 2025
Australia has been kicking around the idea of high-speed rail for decades – and it’s no surprise when you consider the sheer size of this country. But that pipe dream could be about to become a reality. The federal government has invested A$659M into a planning phase that could see the advent of a new, 1,800KM rail line.
But with projections already stretching towards 2060 for the entire line to be completed, is this the right decision, or is Australia headed on a fast train to nowhere?
The project will upgrade the 1996 venue with expanded fan concourses, new indoor-outdoor gathering spaces and a social deck overlooking the city.
Designed by ZHA and billed as a vertical city, the structure will rise in the central business district of China's capital, not far from the 528-metre CITIC Tower.
Designed by Foster + Partners, the $4.5BN supertall skyscraper will rise 431-metres above Midtown East with Citadel as anchor tenant.
